Nassau County, Florida

Welcome to beautiful Nassau County, located in the northeast corner of Florida along the Atlantic Ocean and Interstate 95. We are proud to serve as the Eastern Gateway to the Sunshine State. From our historic island, sandy beaches, and championship golf courses to our scenic rivers, green pastures, and majestic timberlands, we truly offer something for everyone.

A survey is underway to determine gas supplies in Nassau County and we will update that information separately before noon. Power outages continue in Nassau County, particularly on Amelia Island. As of 8am, this morning, FPL reported more than 15,000 without power, mostly west of the intracoastal waterway. Florida Public Utilities, which supplies all power needs to Amelia Island, reports there is NO power due to major transmission line damage. Okefenokee Power also reports a down transmission line impacting more than 5,000 customers in Nassau. We will supply an updated report early this afternoon following a noon damage assessment tour by the Director of Emergency Management, Billy Estep.

Tree across Will Hardee before Simmons Rd with downed power lines. Not mentioned in your above list.

The county is not preventing people from returning home however they have urged people to stay out until all the roads have been cleared. If you do need to return, please be cautious when driving. There was a report of a downed tree at Chester and Green Pine.

Unfortunately, the County has no control over this issue as the power companies are not governed by us. Our officials are in contact with all the electric companies and we will continue to share updates as we receive new information. If there is an immediate need, you can always go to the nearest fire station. They should have generators in the facilities.
